A random question about two Say You Will tracks
Okay, so I've been a Mac fan since the late '90s and I bought Say You Will only after I saw them perform the tracks live in '04. So I've been reading up online that there are Center Channel Mixes, whatever those are, and special single mixes of Say You Will & Peacekeeper. Can anybody enlighten me on what exactly these are and what makes them different, or actually post them to download for me since I can't seem to find them anywhere else??

I don't know anything about single mixes for "Say You Will." But traditionally single mixes aren't very different from album mixes -- a little more guitar here or backup vocal there. Typically, these are mixes intended to maximize the sonic effects of hearing the single play on the radio in your car, which, in the olden days, was of lower quality than your sound system at home.

I do know that there was a slight lyric change with the Peacekeeper single version. I can't remember what it was exactly, but I know the line "take no prisoners, only kill" was changed to a more accessible line (i guess it was a little too dark for radio). Does anyone remember what it was changed to??

Break their will. That, to me, is not exactly non-violent and less controversial. You usually break someone's will through torture.

There was a considerably different single/radio mix for "Say You Will". I lost it when my computer died earlier this month. Anyone else have it and would be nice enough to share?

War isn't pretty (as I'd like to think we all know by now) and I think Lindsey was trying to reflect that and also how we as humans are the only species who specifically create things in order to destroy. What other species does that? "Only creatures who are on their way/ever poison their own wells" talks about us creating things meant to destroy. I personally feel this song is supposed to shake us up and is meant to be (at least somewhat) controversial. Good for Lindsey!!! There was a kind of theme in some of Lindsey's material for SYW. What's The World Coming Too, Murrow Turning Over In His Grave, Peacekeeper, all sounded like protest type songs to me. Each one has connections to different ideas and themes about politics, celebrity, war, peace, torture, law enforcement. The songs are fantastic and really get you to think beyond the standard pop music that is meant only to melt your brain into mush. Way to go Lindsey!! Keep it up!! |

Basically, they highlight certain aspects of a mix. You might just hear the background vocals and the guitar or maybe a main vocal without background, or stuff like that. I recall on Miranda Stevie's vocals pop out very prominently in parts. They're not like listening to good remixes but are a very interesting curiosity.

And in the original version, am I the only one who thinks the guitar sound in the solo sounds just like the guitar in Book Of Miracles? |

WTWCT is about Lindsey's dealings with WBR over his solo album. Its not a coincidence that this is the first track on SYW. Murrow doesn't get nearly as much love on these boards as it should. It is to This Is The Time as Led Zeppelin/Kashmir is to Warrant/Cherry Pie. |

Say Goodbye.
This is a bit off topic, but is "Say Goodbye" about Stevie?

"was written not long after I took leave of the band in the late eighties, to get my own head together, and it just needed to wait, to find its time.
Its about coming to terms with the fact that there can be little gain without some loss and little redemption without forgiveness." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OC7Gcg_9os

Is it true that What's The World Coming To is almost a cover, with a little bit of Lindsey thrown in? I thought I remembered reading that awhile back.

Speaking of covers, someone was stealing from somebody. Does the hook sound familiar?

Subdominant (4 beats) --> Dominant (2 beats) --> Root (2 beats) --> Subdominant (4 beats) --> Dominant (2 beats) --> Root (2 beats) etc. At least Fleetwood Mac wrote a new chorus. Whew.
